  1. * d, mean duration of interval between births. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive statistics of the raw data for each sample. Data conforming to the normal distribution are shown as mean ± standard deviation; data not conforming to the normal distribution is shown as median (range); # d1/d2, mean duration of interval for cerclage/non-cerclage patients.
